Not to be Forgiven
Ebook – September, 2013
[maxbutton id="2" text="Ebook | $7.99" url="#"] [maxbutton id="1" text="Paperback | $17.95" url="/product/not-to-be-forgiven-paperback/"]Immersed in World War II propaganda, a 10-year-old Nebraskan child, Sis, is convinced all Germans are monsters. Her brother, Danny, is fighting Germans in North Africa. Then she meets Horst, an inmate in a near-by Prisoner of War Camp. He’s friendly, funny, and helps her save an injured magpie. She trusts him with her fears, but, shaken by ambivalence, tells no one about the relationship.
As events transpire, Sis ponders: Is Horst friend or foe? She can’t be sure. Then Danny comes home a shattered stranger, his diary filled with Nazi atrocities. Forcibly reminded all Germans are foes, she betrays Horst’s friendship to intransigent Nazis in the POW camp because she hears they punish American sympathizers. What she doesn’t know is that the evil of Hitler’s gestapo reaches all the way into these camps.
Sis learns what they did to Horst from a nurse who works in the POW infirmary; the result of torture, it leaves the kind German maimed for life. She is devastated. Decades later, Sis still grieves the unthinkable damage they did him and, as she sees Swastika earrings on a child, she remembers how their friendship was twisted by the malignant power of hatred. She prays for forgiveness for herself and asks mercy for a world again awash in hate.

Time travel is seductive. What would happen if …
but will the answer open a Pandora’s box?
“Sherrie said, ‘Let me get this straight. We are going to let a girl from
Ancient Rome that just saw a car for the first time today, drive us?’ ”
—Excerpt from Rome Never Fell
In his raucous new novel, C. R. Fabis weaves a fantastic tale of real history interwoven with some wild what ifs.
Astrophysicists major and full-time nerd Henry Gafield is busily studying the earth’s electromagnetic field in an attempt to save money on his electric bill. One of his experiments goes south, but he soon discovers that he actually shot himself two minutes back in time.
– A science experiment gone wrong.
-A gorgeous, fledging historian needs some help.
-Will the nerdy scientist finally get his wish?
While he is perfecting his discovery, he meets classical studies major and inspiring historian, Sherrie Melbourne. Henry lets the gorgeous Sherrie in on his secret. She quickly figures out that Henry can help her with a major problem. She convinces Henry to go back in time to one of the most amazing periods in human history—the birth of the Roman Empire. Henry has reservations, but he has his own designs on history.
Rome Never Fell takes the reader on a fantastical journey through ancient Rome, meeting some of the most infamous characters in all of history. While it seems as though Henry and his beautiful companions have single-handedly averted cataclysmic catastrophes, the reader may be surprised at what the present actually holds.
